Jia Xitong trapped the escaping figure, and moments later, the person who couldn't escape underground jumped out from the soil, attempting to flee above, only to be blocked by the Binding Gold Talisman.
He was a short, stout man with a mustache.
At the moment of capture, he immediately knelt and begged for mercy, "Senior, please spare me!"
"Who are you? Why are you hiding here?"
"I am Sun Jiu. I am a disciple of Dingtian Academy, and I entered the Tengyun Mountain Range to hunt Demon Beasts for a mission. Unexpectedly, I ran into you here, Senior."
He's also a disciple of Dingtian Academy?
Jia Xitong scrutinized him secretly.
"Here is my Disciple Token."
He held the wooden token with both hands and handed it to Shang Yanting, displaying the mark of Dingtian Academy.
"Why are you alone?"
"I got separated from the others."
